Welcome, Merħba,
I would like to say thank you for coming and welcome to all our friends.
There are people from different areas of Malta and also from different organisations…
Archbishop Charles J. Scicluna led a concelebration in remembrance of the four victims of Sette Giugno uprisings at the Chapel of the Addolorata Cemetery, Paola. Also present were the Bishop of Gozo Mario Grech and Archbishop Emeritus Paul Cremona OP.
In his homily, the Archbishop recalled the suffering and the tragedy of our ancestors a hundred years ago in the Sette Giugno riots and emphasized that “today we are not celebrating but rather it is our duty to remember; for it is our duty not to forget even because certain conditions that led to the events in Valletta on the 7th and 8th June 1919, can be repeated today.” He underlined that a century ago the Maltese were faced with the problems of the cost of living, of rents and hunger and the wide gulf that existed between the Maltese who had plenty and the many who had little…
Il-Ġimgħa, 31 ta’ Mejju 2019, l-Arċisqof Charles J. Scicluna bierek u fetaħ il-post il-ġdid tal-istazzjon ta’ Radju Marija. L-inawgurazzjoni timmarka wkoll l-24 sena minn meta jxandar Radju Marija f’Malta.
Iċ-ċerimonja bdiet b’messaġġ ta’ merħba mid-Direttur Fr Antoine Borg li tkellem dwar il-ferħ li issa, wara tant snin, bl-għajnuna ta’ ħafna semmiegħa u benefatturi jista’ jxandar f’post aktar addattat għall-missjoni ta’ Radju Marija…

Ir-rakkont ta’ San Luqa mill-Ktieb tal-Atti tal-Appostli pprova jispjega l-misteru li qegħdin niċċelebraw imma fl-istess ħin jagħtina rakkont li għandu messaġġ għalina llum. Id-dixxipli kienu draw jiltaqgħu ma’ Ġesù fl-irxoxt tiegħu; għal 40 jum dehrilhom, għallimhom, u pperswadiehom li ma kienx fantażma imma dak li ġara f’Ħadd il-Għid kien avveniment ta’ vera u mhux ħrafa tal-bnedmin, imma ġrajja ta’ vera…

“U ġara, li huwa u jberikhom, infired minnhom u kien meħud fis-sema. Huma nxteħtu fl-art jagħtuh qima, u mimljin b’ferħ kbir reġgħu lura lejn Ġerusalemm” (Lq 24: 51-52). San Luqa jispjega l-esperjenza li qed infakkru llum b’dawn il-kliem…

X’qed jipprova jgħidilna Ġesù fil-kliem sabiħ li qralna l-kappillan Fr Charlon? Intom tafu x’jiġifieri ‘ħalliel’? Ħalliel jiġi u jisraq xi ħaġa li mhijiex tiegħu. Pereżempju, min jieħu ħsieb id-dar tagħkom? Il-mamà u l-papà, hux? …

I think it is a very important moment for our faith community to carry out a critical analysis of power-complicity in hate speech. I think we cannot forgo a critical attitude to our way of expressing difference and the fact that we are not always agents of inclusion…

Nixtieq insellem lill-persunalitajiet distinti, lill-Ministru, lir-Rispettabbli Sindku, lilek għażiż Kappillan Dun Karm Tanti u anke lil Fr Vince. Lis-Sur John Lauria nirringrazzjah tal-inizjattiva li ħa 30 sena ilu. Proprju 30 sena wara l-ewwel niċċa modesta u umli, qegħdin ninawguraw dan—ippermettuli nsejjaħlu—kapolavur ta’ arkittettura…

Meta niċċelebraw is-sagramenti hemm protagonist li ma tantx insemmuh: huwa l-Ispirtu Qaddis tal-Mulej li l-Mulej tana fil-qawmien tiegħu mill-imwiet. Ġesù miet, propjament qtilnih, indifen, u fit-tielet jum qam mill-imwiet. Bil-qawmien tiegħu ngħatalna l-Ispirtu Qaddis tal-Mulej. Aħna nippreżentaw il-ħobż u l-inbid, u l-Ispirtu Aaddis tal-Mulej ibiddilhom fil-ġisem u d-demm ta’ Ġesù…

“Isma’, mela, din is-supplika, li l-qaddej tiegħek u l-poplu tiegħek Iżrael, sewwasew f’dan il-post, qegħdin jagħmlulek. Ismagħna int, mis-sema fejn int toqgħod; ismagħna u aħfrilna.” (1 Slat 8:30). Salamun ingħata don speċjali ta’ għerf mill-Mulej u din is-silta li għadna kemm smajna li hija silta ta’ solennità kbira, hija t-talba tas-sultan fil-jum tad-dedikazzjoni tat-tempju li kien bena hu…
